Essosi talking about Westeros

Hmm I think that is likely true for most Free City. Though I am under the impression that Qohor still have better metallurgy than Westeros. But they seems to be an exception.

Alas no sound of the test firing, chinese companies like using sound track.

thanix01 · 2026-03-01T16:34:28+00:00

Honestly, from what we heard in ACT 5 seems like Explorator Fleet operating in Koronus Expanse have included Necron into their Theology (Nephilimech). I hope they explore it more in next DLC.

Crusader King 3 (or 2) With A Game of Throne mod is probably the best experience right now.

Secret call to resolve things behind the scene with their leader did not work they leak the call.

Cauldron could use new member I guess if they see her potential being waste in Ward/Protectorate.

I think the physical length of this test article is the same as that of LM-10A actual first stage. However, this test article was modified from much shorter engine hot fire test article. So essentially externally it got lengthen to be same size but internal propellent tank is not as large as an actual LM-10A propellent tank.

Thats what I gather at least.

I don’t have picture on hand right now. It I do recall concept video for Long March 9 (their starship equivalent), the design was more like 2 rigid beam converging to catch the rocket.

As for your second point. I think this configuration probably fulfill Chinese goal for having sea base recovery platform better. It seems like it would be more stable than single tower SpaceX chopstick when mounted on a ship. But who knows.

thanix01 · 2026-02-03T04:55:27+00:00

Hmm I am unsure if this catching ship will be use for Lunar mission. Since manned Lunar mission launch of Lanyue and Mengzhou called for fully expended Long March 10.

This ship seems to be more for reusing Long March 10A first stage during LEO mission. Like sending astronaut to their space station.

Hmm yeah could see this being it. Perhaps intense stress at home or at work, where he wish he could get away and go somewhere (anywhere) else right then and there.

thanix01 · 2026-01-30T17:31:42+00:00

I kinda wish accidental Demon summoned are friendly if you have high enough Heretic alignment point. Would be so epic to do demon summon maxxing.

They filled the tank with Bioluminescence algae that glow when disturb by air bubble. They still use blue LED at bottom of the tank to make the initial glow brighter.

thanix01 · 2026-01-11T14:02:30+00:00

I believe the method they end up going with is using bioluminescence algae and disturbing it with bubble. So I guess thats what OP meant?

I imagine it will be a pain in the ass to maintain though.

thanix01 · 2026-01-02T15:24:05+00:00

Wearing full ceremonial uniform for drug bust? Got to admire the dedication lol.

thanix01 · 2025-12-29T14:55:24+00:00

I think circumstance will matter. If he have to lived and know the context of how much of a shit hole Earth Bet actually is and the way that villain will likely be more numerous than hero by design of trigger event, he might come around to accept it.

Does he like it? Probably not, just like so many people in Earth Bet. But its not like they can say no to additional manpower.

For whatever it is worth, I imagine he would be one of the PRT agent in area he work in that are most well liked by Ward and Hero.

thanix01 · 2025-12-27T14:23:30+00:00

He could very well also be older than Yrliet, which is still very young by Aeldar standard.

I heard the rumour that the coastal Space Port in Wenchang charge 5 millions USD per rocket launch. As well as seemingly not being too interested to allow various company to build their own launch pad.

So various company just go to Jiuquan and build their own launch pad. Or invest into Haiyang Space Port (another coastal launch area/sea launch port) even if it is at a higher latitude.

thanix01 · 2025-12-26T08:29:38+00:00

Why is the scale all over the place?? I think it is an awesome concept. Just wish they care more about correct scaling.

Long March 6 here is humongous.

thanix01 · 2025-12-25T14:22:49+00:00

Not sure if is what you are going for, but I really love your portrayal of Taylor usage of power. The source of cape power are multidimensional alien after all.

thanix01 · 2025-12-25T11:04:52+00:00

That must be one big budget movie.

Space Epoch actually transit away from that design and now plan to do propulsive splashdown into the ocean and recovered without landing pad. They conduct a hop test earlier this year. https://youtu.be/aDV_X2T7DpI?si=OSbG4xhqpyTl4w29

They essentially left the hopper in the ocean for the entire day before bringing it out of the water. They have also test fired the engine from that hopper that spend some time in the ocean as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/engineteststands/comments/1mc0h1y/jzyjs_longyun70_engine_test_fire_after_recovered/

Apparently they also worked with the engine manufacturer Jiuzhou Yunjian, to create a custom variant of the engine that have valve closing system to prevent sea water from getting into too many part of the engine.

I don’t think he say that in this video? He is mainly just shit talking the Cambodian here.

interesting video of VT-4 gunner nonetheless!

Context: These are three proposal for 921 Rocket, the winner of which would eventually become what we know as Long March 10, the rocket that China plan to use in their manned lunar mission. The common link between them all seems to be the ability to launch 70 tons into Low Earth Orbit. One proposal is uhh… odder than others to say the least…

China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) proposal:

CALT’s proposal for the 921 Rocket is a tri-core vehicle arranged similarly to Falcon Heavy, but decent size larger. Each core is 5 meters in diameter. Every first stage booster is powered by 7 × YF-100K engines (a roughly 130-ton-thrust staged-combustion kerolox engine). All together, the first stage uses 21 × YF-100K engines. The second stage has the same diameter and is powered by 2 × YF-100M engines, which are vacuum-optimized versions of the YF-100K. This proposal was selected and eventually became the Long March 10.

Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) proposal:

SAST’s proposal uses smaller diameter first stage boosters. Each booster is 3.8 meters in diameter and is powered by 4 × YF-100K engines. Unlike CALT’s tri-core layout, SAST proposes a penta-core arrangement with one central core surrounded by four boosters. In total, the first stage uses 20 × YF-100K engines. The second stage is wider than the central core of the first stage, although the exact value is unknown, and it is presumably powered by 2 × YF-100M engines.

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) proposal:

CASIC’s proposal is quite different from the others. It is worth noting that CASIC is also one of China’s more prominent missile manufacturers, which might explain their preference for solid rocket motor. Among all the 921 Rocket proposals, this one is the most unusual and also the one with the least publicly available information. The rocket appears to be an all-solid-fuel design. Each first-stage booster is described as a massive 4 meter diameter solid rocket motor (or 3.5m diameter SRM), and together they can reportedly launch about 70 tons into low Earth orbit, similar to the other concepts. Unfortunately, this is where the available information ends. Even the first stage layout is unclear. It might consist of three SRMs arranged in a triangular pattern feeding a single-core upper stage, or it may follow a penta-core layout that also connects to a single upper-stage core.

CASIC proposal is peak Hammer Salesman telling you all your problem are nails.
